2-Star Hotels in Canterbury, New Zealand

I thought this place was great. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped. The bathrooms were within our building which is great for cold nights. The communication was superb!

The motel room is very clean, the car also has a place to park, not far from the city center, and overall is good. The only thing is that the sound insulation is not very good. We live in a small villa facing the street. The single-story glass on the second floor is a bit noisy when there is a big car. But still recommended, the Chinese at the front desk are more lax

I really enjoyed staying at Dusky Lodge. Friendly staff , cosy room , nice communal areas and the bonus of a spa pool . Excellent value.

Great location right by a beautiful lake — perfect for the scenery. The accommodation was generally clean and comfortable, and the bathroom in particular was well-maintained. The kitchen is well-equipped with plenty of pots, pans, cutlery, crockery, a toaster, and microwave. However, some of the cookware could use a proper clean as there is burnt residue on them, and a few of the stovetops don’t work reliably. Cleanliness could be improved overall, as there was some rubbish under the bed. The walls are quite thin, so noise can be an issue — you can hear people walking up and down, as well as doors banging from guests coming in and out of rooms. It’s worth noting that guests need to bring their own towels, make their own beds on arrival, and ***** the sheets before leaving. Overall, a pleasant stay in a fantastic location, with just a few practical improvements needed.

The hotel is about 10 minutes drive from the airport. There is a gas station nearby, which is convenient for late arrivals. The key is placed in a box at the front desk door, which is very convenient for self-check-in. The TV in the room is very new and can watch YouTube. The kitchen is a bit small, but the things are quite complete. There is a bottle of milk in the refrigerator, which I thought was left by the previous guest. The room has a private bathroom, which is good. It is very cost-effective for many people. The supermarket is 10 minutes drive away.

I had a very good stay at Mackenzie Motels. The room was very clean, cozy, and comfortable — perfect for a quiet night’s rest. Fairlie is a peaceful little town, and the location was really convenient with a supermarket and laundry shop nearby. Highly recommend for anyone passing through or staying in the area!

A short walk to the main town and has ample parking on the street. Check in and out were quick and easy. The room and bathroom itself was clean and comfortable. Minor note was that the sound insulation between the rooms are not as superb, so you could hear faint voices from the other room.

The hotel is conveniently located right by a bus stop, making it super easy to get to the airport. It's also very close to the commercial center, which is great for shopping. The hotel facilities are a bit dated, but the cleanliness is quite good.

An absolutely fabulous place. Really playing on yhe history of the building all while still giving privacy, security and fun. Location is super close to a variety of restaurants, cafes and take-away stores, and a general store for those forgotten small items. Parking is free but it's a first come, first serve scenario. I loved staying there and highly recommend to any traveler looking for a funky and reasonably priced accommodation.

タオルは借りれる＆タオルの洗濯もしてくれて、最高の宿でした！室内は広く清潔でした◎ 喉が渇いた際は、一階のバーで水をいただけて助かりました。 共有キッチンでは調理もできました！ また近くに来たら泊まります！ オーナーさんやスタッフさんも皆笑顔で優しかったです。ありがとうございました！
